IMPORTANT: BY USING THIS SITE AND THEREBY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS OF USE BELOW. THIS PROVISION AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND REQUIRES THAT DISPUTES BE RESOLVED IN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT. IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY AND THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND LESS APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT.

Mandatory Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Any Dispute involving you and us that cannot be resolved informally or through small claims court shall be resolved through arbitration on an individual basis only. You and we are each waiving the right to sue in court, to have a trial by jury, or TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION.

This Arbitration Provision shall be broadly interpreted. “Dispute” means any claim or controversy related to us or our relationship. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “us,” “we,” and/or “our” means Avery and any of its predecessors, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents.

This Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Arbitrations shall be administered by the AAA pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”). The party initiating the arbitration proceeding may open a case with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) by visiting its website (www.adr.org) or calling its toll free number (1-800-778-7879). If the AAA will not administer a proceeding under this Arbitration Provision as written, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing will take place at a location within the United States that is convenient to you. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable rules.

THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON A CLASS ACTION, JOINT, OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS, OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC (SUCH AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL), OTHER USERS OF THE SITE, OR OTHER PERSONS. THIS WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND COLLECTIVE RELIEF IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CANNOT BE SEVERED FROM IT. IN THE EVENT THAT THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER OR THE PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF WAIVER IS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE, THEN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS PROCEEDING OR CLAIMS INVOLVING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF MAY PROCEED ONLY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AND NOT IN ARBITRATION.

This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of your use of the site.
